On the contrary, for the most part the singular reason a chicane exists is for safety--to reduce speed on subsequent turns, especially when there isn't much runoff. That one just happens to be hard to profile, because you're going so fast on the front straight, and you can get going so fast again through Curva Grande...so they need to make it super tight.

At this point, who cares? Bein Sports is doing a great job -- No stupid commentary, commercial interruptions or tape delay and they're carrying WSS and STK. Not to mention live streaming.

Well, those of us who can't get Bein Sports. But NBD as long as they're on YouTube. I was mainly expressing surprise that mc racing is so far down on the interest list considering all the other sports (not to mention all the reality drivel) that get televised.
